Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski confirms an offer has been made to Johnny Damon

LAKELAND, Fla. -- Detroit Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski this morning confirmed that his club has made an offer to free agent outfielder Johnny Damon.

He would not elaborate on Tigers owner Mike Ilitch’s involvement in discussions with Damon’s agent, Scott Boras, or the speculation that Detroit has offered two years at $14 million and one year at $7 million.

“I’m not closing it off,” Dombrowski said, “but I’m not saying it’s done by any means. We’re still in it.”

He added this note in regard to not expecting Damon in camp for any club when full squads report early next week: “And whoever he agrees with is going to give him a physical. We’re not at that juncture yet; Nobody is.”

Dombrowski said Damon is the only left-handed hitter he is involved in attempting to sign
